If you can get N2 for your tires for $5 a pop, then I might... just MIGHT... consider it. Personally, I could spend the $20 on something better and since I tend to vary my tire pressure based on what I'm doing with the car, it's useless without my having my own tank.
I'm not a believer in any of the hype about N2 other than not having to dick with tire pressure, providing you don't adjust it like I do or have a slow leak that requires occassional attention.

I've got a couple. Heated throttle body bypass and swapping the map lights out for colored LED's are both cheap, easy, effective mods. I ran my own footwell lights with an led switch for about 30 bucks and its one of my favorite mods. Everyone who sees them loves them. I've also done a cheap antenna delete. Got a scrap piece of plexi glass, cut, sanded and tinted it. Removed the whole stock antenna assembly and screwed in my home made cover piece. Looks pretty good and sure beats the hell out of the stock flag pole.

I agree and the communicty needs your how to's with step by step pics.
That's what really makes the forum valuable ... people will do what they understand via a walk thru, and ABQstang89 it sounds like you have both skilz and creativity.

I cut the bottom out of my airbox - purely for the sound. Free and pleasant to hear. I also did the shorty antenna mod.
For about a month or two I was running sans mufflers, got better mileage as I tried to drive it as quietly as possible. Actually sounded pretty good, just too loud.

Purely visual, but makes a huge difference is painting the door sills, and the center console. Picked up a can of black paint for plastics at Pep Boys for under $10. Don't have pics of the console, but here's of the door sills:

Hood pins for sure,
I also switched out the lightbulb in my rear license plate holder with an LED. Cost like 5 bucks, and I love the look.
I love the black paint on the door sills, I think I'll do that too now.
Switching out the AC ***** with chrome ones can be a decent mod.
Floorwell lights, trunk lights are cheap, dome LED's as well.
